Black Beauty's tale, as told by himself, is the fascinating story of the
life of a horse a hundred years ago, when horses were a part of
everyone's life.
Although his colthood and early life were happy, Black Beauty tastes the
bitterness of cruel grooms and indifferent masters as he passes from
hand to hand, progressing from the country to London and back again.
This, the most famous horse story ever written, is a must on everyone's
reading list.
